Description
Although it may have started out as a modest night of Aussie music on a local farm to welcome in the New Year, the Falls Festival has become one of Australia's largest outdoor festivals, spread over two locations and featuring both local and international bands.
The first Falls Festival took place in 1993 - albeit under the moniker Rock Above the Falls - when a local Lorne surfer decided to open his annual New Year's Eve farm party to a few thousand others. Throw in some of Australia's hottest bands at the time and a festival was born.
Throughout its 14-year history, The Falls Festival has kept on expanding. As band line-ups built, ticket demands sky-rocketed; so much so that promoters extended it into a two-night affair and in 2003 added a sibling Falls in Marion Bay, Tasmania.
